REVELATION, CHAPTER FOUR #L-1 60-1231

L-1 Amen... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Myself, I think that's the attitude of a lot of people. It's mighty nice, young sister there, that last verse. I sure appreciated that. And we coming into New Year's night I don't think you could sing anything any better, any more appropriate for this night.
Looks like we're starting the year off good, hmm, good and snowy and sloppy outside, typical Indiana weather at this time of year. So you people from Georgia, I see here, and up in Ohio. Now, Brother Dauch, you and Sister Dauch know what that is, as Ohio's the same. And--but we're going to a land where there'll not be any of that. See, that's the thing.

L-3 This is New Year's night of eve. And 'course, everybody's got a vow wrote out and a pledge you're going to make for new year's, then about a day after tomorrow they'll all be broke. And so... You know, you turn a new page every year, and then turn back the next morning, did it again.
But there's just one thing that--that I would like to say, and that is, that like Apostle Paul said, "Forgetting those things that are in the past, all my mistakes and all the things that I've done, I press towards the mark of the high calling in Christ." That's the only regrets that I have is my errors for the past year, and the past part of my life, and only humbly asking for grace to press on towards the mark of the high calling. I'm sure that's the testimony of--of all of us; we'd all feel that way.

L-5 Sorry that it's such a bad night, and--and people didn't get to come. And I called Brother Neville; I didn't even know whether he could get here or not. And Brother Skaggs come up, and he'd come from way down in Kentucky where she's three feet or better down in there. And so or about like this, he said, so he had a farmer pull him out a couple times and put him over the hill with a tractor. And so I thought, "Well, if it's just two or three inches, we won't mind that, as long as it's like that. But the roads are passable and everybody's going on.

L-6 Now, of course, tonight is a night where we hear from a variety of ministers, different ones who come in. And they'll probably be coming on along through the different parts tonight up till midnight. I think they'll set and watch if the--for the new year to go--come in, and the old one to go out. And usually they call around the altar and pray and--and make their vows to God and renew their--their vows.
I told Brother Neville... And I called him to see if he was coming; I said, "If he didn't come, I'd try to carry on the best that I could. And then if he couldn't get here in the morning, why, I'd continue on to do all that I could while he was--he wasn't here. And I told him I was going to try tonight, thinking about just having about a fifteen-minute's message, or something. And, well, I see you got several other ministers setting here, waiting.
So I was--thought I'd start and just continue on in this Book of Revelations, just go right on down, pick up the 4th chapter now, start off. And if we don't get through with it this time, the next time we'll continue on. Then we go to the 5th, and the 6th, and just as we can, the Lord help us to get through it.
